Cloud 9 Aisle 5 is an interactive installation that envelopes visitors in a floating cloud of packing peanuts to raise questions regarding consumerist practices. The gentle cloud of packing peanuts, while perhaps comforting and inviting, is an abrasive reminder of the waste accompanying commercial goods as well as how ordinary individuals play a central role in the chain of supply and demand, and the extent to which humans become commodities themselves.

As visitors enter the cloud, their bodies trigger an auditory beep similar to that of a barcode scanner, which subsequently not only links their presence to the product they help produce but the event also momentarily transmutes their bodies into articles of trade, seeing in this instance that they are the objects being scanned, coated by a red light and in an imaginary box of packing peanuts. With that, the piece attempts to remove individuals from their blissful position as consumers and instead bring attention and responsibility to their everyday actions.
